Make a reservation, especially if you have a party larger than 2 because this place is packed ok ! Parking is hard to find but that’s NYC for ya ! We parked at a garage a few blocks away ($25) and walked back to the restaurant. While you enter, there’s a live band playing music which is cool but it makes the bar area / front of restaurant loud. It’s a bit quieter towards the back. The place is huge and the decor gives “grandma’s house”. Bathrooms were very clean and smelled so good. Now let’s get to the GOOD STUFF !! The food is 1000/10 omg ! The waffle literally melts on your tongue I would highly recommend the Birria Chimichanga. A bunch of chaotic goodness wrapped together. Portions are great too. I don’t remember our waitresses name but she was so sweet and attentive. The drink menu is overwhelming. There’s an option for everything and everyone. I do like that they break each section down and provide an explanation for the drinks in each section. I can appreciate that. Ultimately, we went with the bottomless mimosa and it did not disappoint. Overall, a great brunch experience. Would highly recommend this restaurant.

I love the vibe of Tanner Smith’s!! The food was GREAT! The drinks were strong! The vibe was amazing! They have a nice upstairs vibe for people who want to eat or chill and have a drink. The downstairs is where the parties at for people who want a party! The waitress was really nice, and recommended some great food. She even helped me make a couple of drink decisions! It was my birthday and they gave me a frozen shot! Please stop by if you are in New York.

Made a reservation in advance since I had a party of five and when I realized my party was arriving a few mins later than the reservation time I was able to ask the hostess to adjust the reservation and it was done very smoothly and I was able to sit at the bar while waiting for more of the party to show up. Very friendly and welcoming space. Had live music playing when we went on a Saturday. The brunch options were very good and the bottomless drinks were a good touch. Was super glad when the server gave us a notice for when the 90 mins were nearing for bottomless drinks and allowed us to put in one last round of drinks. The birria chimichanga were really filling and a good portion size. One of my friends had the avocado toast and it was a bit cold.

Would def visit again whether solo, for a date or for a group session. But advice for if doing more than 2 ppl and you don’t want to sit at the bar, definitely reserve before going as it is rather busy.

We stopped into Tanner Smith’s and ended up heading down to their speakeasy called Polly, which was a great surprise. The atmosphere had that classic speakeasy vibe, lively but not overwhelming, and the aesthetic of the space felt unique compared to a lot of other Midtown spots. Even on a Wednesday night the place was busy with a good mix of people, many on first dates or casual nights out. It felt less touristy than other bars near Times Square, which gave it a more local energy.

We kept it simple with food, sharing the chicken tenders and the everything pretzel bites, which hit the spot for bar bites. For drinks, I ordered the Irish Bill and we also tried the Cantinero. Both were well made and balanced, and the bar menu overall had a strong mix of creative cocktails and classics.

The staff were friendly, attentive, and made the experience even smoother. Between the atmosphere, the drinks, and the food, Tanner Smith’s stood out as a fun and easygoing spot to wind down after a long day. I would definitely recommend it if you are looking for a good bar near Times Square that still feels a little more authentic than the usual tourist stops.

This place was awesome! You actually felt like you were in a 1920s speakeasy that had multiple rooms and Bars throughout so you can have more space. The decor was great and the canapes were so fun. I went there for a private event but would go there again and again!

Update 1/26/26: I could have sworn I updated review. I’m coming back to drop my stars because I returned here on the late night of 1/10/26. The manager (dirty blonde spikey-ish hair) is racist. I have a zero tolerance for racist so I will NEVER return here and I’ve spread the word out already the night it happened and days following. I’m good. Apparently there were too many people of color there for him and that’s not their typical crowd but I guess the rain kept the usual crowd away. It was all good vibes amongst the patrons. No drama, only music, dancing, and nice convo. But the manager, another story. I even saw him have an exchange of words with the dj bc they’re were tunes he approved of (afrobeats), not even vulgar music. I’m done. I’m good. Never again.

There’s an ambiance that can’t be explained unless you step foot in the establishment. The service I’ve had in YEARS. (And that’s coming from southern hospitality) Ask for Brona to be your waitress. You won’t regret it!

Must visit if you’re visiting New York City! It has a locals vibe but with an incredible cocktail selection. We had the best bartender Paula that suggested their new menu additions including the Early Grey Martini and Noise Complaint. Hands down best drinks in the city, definitely will be back!
